CHURN..

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 234,418, dated November 16, 1880.

Application filed June 4, 1880.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MERIT F. MITOHEL, of Ripon, in the county of Fond du Lac and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chorus; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to churns; and the novelty consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In carrying out my invention I employ, preferably, a vessel of little height having a bearing-socket to receive the lower end of the dasher-standard, and a semicircular slot or seat nearits upper portion to receive the cover, which is made in semicircular sections, as shown. Studs are formed on the inner surface of the vessel near the top, against which buttons upon one portion of the top or cover op erate to hold it in place. This portion of the cover carries the standard in which are journaled both the upper end of the dasher-standard and the shaft of a beveled gear carrying an operating-crank. This latter gear meshes with a smaller beveled gear upon the dasherstandard, and this forms the operating mechanism. The frame is securely fastened to the locked cover, and at its top is provided with a handle, for conveniencein moving, 850. The other portion of the cover is easily removed, and matches with the lock portion to make a close cover.

The lock portion may be removed by disengaging the buttons and turning the whole until it leaves the semicircular slot.

(Model) In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view; Fig. 2, a detail in vertical section, and Fig. 3 a perspective view of the dasher.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the churn-"essel, having a seat in the center of the bottom to receive the lower end, I), of the dasher, a semicircular slot, or, adapted to receive the lock portion E of the cover, and lugs or projections f, against which operate the buttons c of the cover E. The pivoted lugs or buttons, by hearing against projections f, prevent the rotation of the half lid or cover Within the groove, and thus retain it firmly locked in position.

Secured to the cover E is a bifurcated standard, D, having a handle, (I, in which standard is journaled the shaft of a beveled gear, 0, which meshes with a smaller gear, 1), upon the dasher-standard, the upper end, b of which turns loosely in a socket in the standard D, as shown.

H represents a loose cover, and 0 the crank upon the gear 0.

The operation of my device from the foregoing description is obvious.

What I claim is- The combination of thelock-cover E, having buttons 0, the standard D, having handle d, operating-gear O, and crank 0, dasher B, having gear I), and vessel A, having slot at and projections f, all operating as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 5th day of May, 1880. a
